Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate  -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 =  (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

By applying similar triangles rule,

22/5.5 = (x + s)/s

s = 5.5/22 × (x + s)

ds/dt = 5.5/22 × (dx/dt + ds/dt)

16.5/22 × ds/dt = 5.5/22 × dx/dt

16.5/22 × ds/dt = 5.5/22 × -6

ds/st = -2 ft/s.

4. With respect to a mass of 1kg. (a) How much change in elevation must it undergo to change its potential energy by 1 kJ? (g=9.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

102 m upwards.

Explanation:

Just from a qualitative analysis we can tell the mass it needs to go upwards. How much we determine with the fact that the increase will be - in absolute value - equal to the work gravity does on it to go down that same distance.

Fixed that work being 1 kJ, we get

\vec F \cdot \vec{ \Delta h} = |F| |\Delta h| cos 0 = ( 9.8 N )\Delta h \cdot 1 = 10^3 J\\\Delta h = \frac {10^3}{9,8} m \approx 102 m
